Thanks for your great plugin! I'm new to MM and Cue Reader, wanted to test the latest versions in Win8.1 64-bit portable MM install, and so far your script doesn't work for me as expected. It shows the list of songs encoded in one flac file and auto plays it. But when I click on any link inside the cue songs list, nothing happens - it doesn't switch to any other song whether a song is playing now or not. Here's a sample cue playlist encoded in ANSI, it plays and manually switches just fine in MusicBee:

Another thing, the default CueReader style is black & grey & white with yellow for a song selected, so it doesn't match MM default skin colors. When I try to change MM Options - CueReader Settings, whatever I choose in Embedded in field except "None", just black & grey background shows up in place of CueReader with no song list visible. I tried to add CueReader.vbs.htm or CueReader.css to Scripts - Auto folder like mentioned here, but nothing changes if "Use external stylesheet" is marked. Also, another button in Extensions - CueReader - Options doesn't work at all. Anything I'm doing wrong? Can you post a suitable CueReader.css here that can work with default MM skin?

You also mentioned "Simply click the tracks button to skip straight to it" in CueReader description on your site, but I can't find that button in MM or CueReader default skin. Would it allow to change songs in cue list manually if clicked, and whereit is? And what settings to change to undock it?

Also, in MM Miniplayer mode a cue playlist & panel aren't visible, and it shows the same song name for any song from the cue playlist which is its file name. Is it possible to add showing cue playlist in that mode? Generally, why do you think cue support is not integrated properly or at all into MM as a feature?

In another thread about Almighty CUE Lord you posted "In fact this script appears to do everything that I was planning to do with the "Cue Reader" script!". I was trying to download that script for testing, but all links are dead now. Can you upload its last version somewhere pls like to mediafire?

1) If it is showing the list of tracks successfully, which it seems to be in your screenshot, then I see no reason why the links wouldn't work. Do you get any ActiveX warnings? My only guess is that the script is failing to communicate back to MM in order to change the song's position.

2) The MM default skin has changed a few times since I wrote this script, I don't try to keep up.

3) Changing the "Embedded in field" option will only work if you embed the contents of the cuesheet into that field. This option allows you to store the cuesheet contents within metadata of the track, instead of having a separate file. If you choose a field and the field for the track does not contain cuesheet contents, it won't display anything.

4) "CueReader.vbs.htm" is written into your %TEMP% directory each time the script runs, if I remember correctly. You should be able to link an external stylesheet if you want to though, in order to change the styles. It doesn't matter where the file is, it doesn't need to be in the Scripts\Auto folder, in fact that might just mess up the original file.

5) Which button in the options panel doesn't seem to do anything for you?

6) The description is out of date, they are links now, not buttons.

7) The panel can be undocked like any other panel, by dragging the title section of the header to the location you want the panel moved to. This is an MM feature, not a feature of the script.

No, there is no scripting API that would allow me to make changes to the way the miniplayer displays. You can't override the track name, for example, only display it in a separate panel. There are a number of threads requested full cuesheet support, but I don't think it's a high priority for the developers. I don't know why, you'd need to ask them that.

9) I don't think I still have a version of the other script, sorry. I don't really use cuesheets myself, and often do a fresh install in order to keep up to date and remove the remnants of scripts I've been working on previously, so it will have disappeared from my installation a long time ago.

I hope I covered everything! And I'm pleased you like the script, despite the issues you're having with it.

It seems like your cue file is UTF encoded at some point. See 2 previous pages in this thread:

I was having lots of problems with "unknown command" errors and strange characters supposedly appearing in my CUE files.
After a bit of fiddling in notepad++ I found that converting the character encoding from UTF to ANSI or vice versa, the errors would stop.

Thanks for your response. That worked. I saved the file, which I assume was saved as ansi, to utf-8, in notepad.

trixmoto wrote:Yeah, about the encoding issues, that's a VBScript thing. It can do UTF-16 but not UTF-8, which causes all kinds of problems! It's on my list to try and sort it, but not had much luck so far.

Hi trixmoto,

We've spoken briefly about this, in context of iPlaylist Importer - which I'm still working on - but just thought I'd offer this code snippet for use here. This is how you parse UTF-8 in VBscript.

So where do I place the external CueSheet.css? There's one located in "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp" but if that is modified, it just resets back to the original one when refreshing the cue sheet. I also tried to place the modified file into the various MediaMonkey installation folders and it seems to have no effect.
